Behold: the 1954 Jaguar XK120 – something of a unicorn, it was found in a barn in Cleveland Ohio.

Details of its past life are sparse but the US-market model was apparently driven as the manufacturer intended, taking part in rallies and sports event up to the late 1960s.

Fully intact with its original motor, interior and Jaguar verified 1954 paintwork, it goes to auction later this month, unrestored and wearing its 66 year old patina with pride.

Behold: the 1953 Jaguar XK120 roadster – the fastest car of its day, with sweeping aerodynamic styling unlike anything else on the road, powered by a 3.4l inline six engine that would remain in production until 1992. Fully restored and presented with its original black paint and red leather interior, it sold at auction this month for €103,500.
